Yes. Naturally we do not have the time to read every single post on every single thread. If anyone sees a post which they consider to be offensive or inappropriate then it's up to them to bring it to the attention of the moderators by reporting it. Likewise if someone wishes a thread to be monitored for disruptive behaviour then it's up to them to bring it to the attention of a moderator. A pm would suffice. Let's all try and work together like all good nationalists do eh?

So there was an unfortunate punch-up on the march between two nationalists who are engaged in a personal feud and who should know better, how very sad and deplorable,

I hear it wasn't a punch-up between two guys but an attack by one upon the other. I wasn't there so I don't really know, but I do know NW and have to say I don't believe he would be involved in violence unless he was defending himself.

To hell with Stampton, there is nothing honourable or the slightest bit brave about punching Nick Walsh...

As for the number in attendance today, and I unfortunately couldn't be there, have a much more reliable source than dope not soap.

We are not talking 20,000, those days appear to have gone, for the time being at least. There was somewhere between 160 and 210, the figure 160 was counted as the march was forced to set off early by our wonderful police force. A lot of people were later to catch up, and some joined in a little late.

BTW Nick is fine, just in case anybody was wondering.

I was on the 1978 march. We had 3,000 on it. Lord knows where 20,000 came from. I was a Main Steward on it and was incredibly pleased with 3,000, but take it from one who was there - we did NOT have 20,000 on it.
We had at that time around 37,000 members and rising......Raven1066 (PS - I estimate around 150 - 180 yesterday. Three drums , six wreath layers and 50 in Flag Party. I looked behing and there were a lot of NF people stretching back behind me.......and I agree, this thread is no place to discuss a man who.....well there you go.
(Nick has a loosened tooth, they were outnumbered 15 to 3)

It is very sad indeed that certain individuals on this thread cannot even now, understand that in honouring and showing respect for our war dead, we should at all costs -- even in the face of direct provocation -- avoid introducing petty squabbles and petty factional arguments into anything associated with Remembrance Sunday.

Putting our differences aside out of respect for the fallen starts here, it involves avoiding provocative verbal abuse on the pages of this forum, just as much as it involves avoiding physical clashes on the actual march.

I therefore respectfully suggest that any contributor who has on this thread made any derogatory comments about any other nationalist, should go back and delete those comments. To do anything else is to desecrate the memory of our wartime heroes.

So there was an unfortunate punch-up on the march between two nationalists who are engaged in a personal feud and who should know better, how very sad and deplorable, but let us not compound the matter further. Let us 'bite our lips' for now and settle this matter somewhere else more appropriate!

It is almost unbelievable that despite the above call for decorum, two further people felt compelled to try to slip in their two-penneth, thereby continuing to desecrate the memory of our wartime heroes with their petty squabbling.

This, from someone who by their own admission wasn't there and therefore doesn't know !!!!!

And this, from someone who agrees that this thread is no place to discuss such things, but simply can't resist that little dig to finish on.

Will the moderators please delete all of the comments on this thread making partisan attacks (delete my posts appealing for decorum also) and close this embarrassing thread?
